AMD invests in quantum startup PsiQuantum
AMD announced on twelve November it will invest in PsiQuantum, expanding their partnership on quantum computing. The companies did not disclose the investment amount.
Combining AMD chips with quantum photonics
PsiQuantum uses AMD's Versal FPGAs to develop fault-tolerant quantum computers. The new deal adds AMD's Instinct GPUs, EPYC CPUs and ROCm software alongside PsiQuantum's silicon photonics technology.
Building hybrid computing systems
The companies will co-design infrastructure for large quantum computers and build hybrid software mixing quantum, high-performance and AI computing. They expect to create the world's most powerful hybrid computing fabric.
“Quantum computing will enable solving problems in healthcare, materials, energy, finance, and other domains that are out of reach today, working in concert with AI and high-performance computing.”
Drug discovery and error correction focus
PsiQuantum and AMD have tuned PRISM, a machine-learning decoder, to correct errors in real time in photonic quantum computers.
The headline
AMD is investing in quantum computing startup PsiQuantum and expanding their partnership to co-design hybrid systems combining quantum, AI and classical computing.
